Lyon believes that instead of a one-match event where the fate of a series can depend on a single session, a multi-match final would better encapsulate the spirit of Test cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's not tournament play. You can't just be scraping into the semi-finals and losing two games or what not. You've got to be consistent over the two years of the cycle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOne thing I would like to see, I'd like to see the World Test Championship Final potentially in a three-match series. That may become a little bit better because you potentially can lose using a Test match in one session where (in a three-match series) it may allow teams to bounce back all, show their dominance and win 3-0. We're pretty time-poor anyway and that's going to be a challenge but that's one thing I would change,\" Lyon was quoted by ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"You potentially could go one in England, one in India, one in Australia, so you have all different conditions, but obviously, the timing of that changes everything. I don't think we're going to get on the MCG in the middle of August, just putting it out there.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The veteran spinner further emphasised that the WTC format eliminates dead rubbers in individual series, ensuring that every match remains significant and competitive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Oh, yeah. I'll just say it's (World Test Championship) the pinnacle for Test cricket. People say it's sometimes a dead rubber when you turn 2-0 up in a three-match series or whatever it may be. But I feel like there's no more dead rubbers. I've never considered them dead rubbers, but there's always points on offer now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
You look at us last year losing against West Indies at the Gabba hurt us a fair bit,. \u201cBut then I would go to New Zealand and win away from home, which is one of the biggest challenges in Test cricket,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lyon further described WTC equivalent to the World Cup in Test Cricket, underscoring its importance as a premier, long-format competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
